Hey guys going to build a new Ryzen 3600 build and dont need my computer to look like a unicorn.. just want some static red fans that also do work, will need one SP and 5 AF. everything out there now seems to be unicorn barf and ridiculously overpriced, assuming it is because you can make them...

Hi guys, So this has been occuring since I moved to a new place for work. It's a pretty old house so my guess is the wiring around the house is not the best. Like the title said, my laptop has a metal body, whenever it's charging, if I place my wrist on the metal part, I'll get static, its...

I've just built my first computer, and when I went to press the power button, nothing happened. The HDMI was plugged into the GPU but it was making a static-y noise, which I assume is bad. I reseated the GPU and had the same issue. I double-checked that the CPU is in correctly, which it was, and...

Howdy. I have a strange issue with setting up a static IP. I've managed to do it. However, I'm losing internet access (parcially). Strangely, I still can use TeamSpeak, but neither of my internet browsers are letting me reach a site. My final objective is to open ports. Since I don't have...

Ever since upgrading to Ryzen 5 3600 on a new MSI B450 Tomahawk Max I've been experiencing graphical bugs or artifacts in all my games. These graphical bugs can be defined as grainy/static/pixelated/blurry textures, reflections, and shadows in all 3d games (does not effect retro styled 2d...

I've had these speakers setup for a couple of weeks now and haven't had any issues. All of a sudden, today, I noticed a bit of static noise coming from them. I installed an update for my printer, and the moment the download began, the static went crazy. What would cause static interference to...

All of the parts to my pc have arrived so now I am just worried about how to handle them. I'm worried about static electricity so I don't know which surface to build on. My bedroom has a fake wood table with a wooden floor, and my kitchen has a granite table with a wooden floor. How should I...

I built my pc back in october and got a new monitor and a set of speakers to go with it, have not had any issues till recently. My speakers are making different noises and i cant seem to get rid of it. I have no other tech by my pc including my phone. Ive made sure drivers are updated. My pc...

Hi there, I am in need of some help and I just can't figure this one out. For several years now I have been dealing with mouse problems. Double clicking and even clicks that don't register. My husband's and I's computer are on the same outlet for our computers. We both also use surge protectors...

So I recently built a new gaming PC and everything ran fine. Later on I installed an SSD (this is the SSD https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078DPCY3T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) from my old PC into this new one and noticed there has been popping/crackling sounds in my...

Ok so the psu was perfectly running without any noise until i switched the motherboard to an ATX from mATX AND adeed 4gb ram (total 8gb ram). And now its making this weird noise like a static. even when the pc is in idle. Video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/yhqqputHHawum8KH7 PC SPECS: CPU: Intel...

Recently I had upgraded my GPU from an ASUS Geforce GTX 1060 6GB to an ASUS Geforce RTX 2070 Super 8GB. After which I noticed my screen was slightly grainy/fuzzy/static especially on darker colors. My screen also started to flicker whenever I was playing a game and got worse with the more...

I have an MSI RX 590 card that when connected turns on, the fans start spinning, and when I go to dxdiag it shows this: View: https://i.imgur.com/LP728fz.png . The PCI-E express slot is working since I'm using an old nVidia 660 that a friend lent me and it works fine. Is my card just dead on...

I have tried literally every fix under the sun at this point to try and fix this, I have: -Uninstall and reinstalled the latest version of Realtek drivers -Switched from Realtek to High Definition Audio (no difference) -Replaced my headset TWICE, I even bought a different brand headset today...

I have every component needed except my case and that’ll take 4-7 days to come in the mail so I was wondering if I could use my asus rog crosshair vii hero motherboard case and just run it on that until the case comes?

Hey guys, so recently I have been hearin something strange coming from my Seasonic focus plus gold 550W psu. It's a sort of constant static noise and it's when I point my ear specifically in the direction of my psu and when I put my ear directly to it I can hear it really clear. I bought a...

I am trying to sell and i5 4460 on eBay and I put plastic wrap below the CPU so when I can take pictures of it, it won't touch the floor. I thought that the static will go away from the plastic wrap after a while because it was already all wrinkled. But it might have broken the CPU from the...

Hello. I bought new PC and after installing AMD Drivers (which I got from their website) for Ryzen 3 2200G with Vega 8 and restarting my PC to complete the installation I get static noise on my screen every 3-4 seconds lasting about the same. I have tried latest available drivers as well as 2...

My computer had a problem where it would freeze and boot loop multiple times a day. At first I thought it was my SSD or RAM, and I switched both but the problem kept happening. But the other day my computer wouldn't even turn on, so I tried to clean it and change the thermal paste. After that, I...

Hi. I just built my first rig last night, so please don't be hard on me. Last night, before I used an AVR for my pc I felt a small shock touching the cpu cooler. But now that I'm using an AVR i never felt any shock. I also let my brother touched the cooler (after grounding) and he didn't felt...

So I have a basic understanding on how grounding works... You install PSU in the case, plug it to the outlet with the PSU switch turned OFF... except in my scenario, I'll be plugging the PSU in a surge protector board with a switch on it... and then to the wall outlet... which ALSO has a switch...

Hi, I recently bought this y-splitter for my HyperX Clouds II; However, the mic does not want to work. In the sound settings on Windows, the bars fill up green indicating that some sound is coming through the mic. I discovered that it's just static that is playing through the mic, it doesn't...

My refurbished Dell monitor flickers anytime someone touches their keyboard (mine or my co-workers) and they get a static shock. Anyone have this issue?

Hi. I had the silly idea (and maybe dumb) of taking a pic to show off the parts i recently bought. Thing is i displayed it in a... unusual surface (for the lols) and i was told that my parts could be either dead or defective due to static discharge but the parts were/are sealed from the...

Hello. I have an MSI Micro ATX LGA 1150 board. I have a Pentium I was going to test before selling on eBay. While walking over to the PC, i dropped the CPU onto my longhair, fluffy, static-prone cat. It slid down her fur and into the floor. I picked the CPU up and blew on it and briefly touched...

Hi I builded my new pc about a week ago and yesterday i noticed when i touched the PSU screws i felt some static on me. Everything seems to be working perfectly i've had around 40-50 hours gameplay 0 crashes,blue screens etc. I looked about it but i did't find something clear that i could...

So recently I've been thinking about getting a new ssd since I'm low on memory and I've ended up choosing between 970 evo and 860 evo. And the deciding factor for me would be the temperatures of 970 evo, overheating and how much of a problem they are. So basically if I'll struggle with the...

I´ve been lately playing heavier games on my laptop. At the start everything worked fine, but after some time I´ve been getting some FPS drops. I usually play Rainbow Six Siege, and I was wondering what the best in-game settings and the best NVidia settings I could select. I'd usually prefer...

I just built a new PC and I'm having various issues with my internet. My ISP tech support was no help so I figured I'd come here. I pay for 200 mbps internet that comes in through a modem supplied by my ISP, which is then connected to my brand new Linksys WRT 32X router in the primary port. I've...

Paying for 20mb/s. I'm getting 2.0mb/s while downloading anything on my PC.

Hello! I just recently build a PC with a whole bunch of drives in it. I have 4 500GB HGST Deskstars (used, about 63.3K hours each from Craigslist), a Samsung 950 PRO SSD, and a 4TB Seagate Barracuda (new as of a year ago when I purchased it), among a few other unimportant drives. I have my...

Just wondering if something needs to be fixed. There is this computery smell coming from my pc. It smells strong coming from the heatsink. I can smell it from the gpu fan slot too but unsure. It seems to be worsened when under load such as gaming or software. Is this normal? I mean the pc is...

Hello, First of all, I'm not able to find a suitable category for this topic here, so moderators can move this post to a better category if needed. I recently bought xbox one x almost a week ago and I'm curious about one thing, I plan to keep the xbox in its bag, so I can take it with me and...

Issue: A few days ago while playing games, my computer shut itself off (in such a way that I first thought that there was a power outage to the whole building). Moments later I noticed a slight amount of smoke coming from the desktop tower, I also believe just prior to shutting off that I heard...

Are there any devices on the market that will allow me to plug the USB dongle from my logitec headphones in that will also accept a toslink cable? I want to set my systems up so they all funnel into my headphones so at night I can play games on the TV through a console or just watch the TV. I...
